Katia Kouyate was delighted to score for Everton in their friendly win against Stade Nyonnaise.
The Blues won 2-1 in Switzerland on Saturday.
Kouyate said, "It's a massive moment for me and my family.
"It feels like all the years of hard work - my mum taking me to training week after week and things like that... It feels like a bit of a reward for all of that and hopefully I've made her proud.
"It's been a good feeling to be out here and have the opportunity. I had a good season last season, particularly towards the end, and I stayed injury-free throughout it. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to impress this week and I've just tried to take it all in, take each day as it comes and I knew I had to take this chance."
